Descriptions

The CairoFont::create function in CairoFontEngine.cc in Poppler, possibly before 0.8.0, as used in Xpdf, Evince, ePDFview, KWord, and other applications, does not properly handle embedded fonts in PDF files, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted font object, related to dereferencing a function pointer associated with the type of this font object.

La función CairoFont::create en CairoFontEngine.cc de Poppler, posiblemente anterior a 0.8.0, como se usa en Xpdf, Evince, ePDFview, KWord y otras aplicaciones, no maneja correctamente fuentes embebidas en archivos PDF, lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección a través de un objeto fuente manipulado, relacionado con referenciar un puntero de una función asociado con el tipo de este objeto fuente.
